Singan pyoje gongja gaeo guhae (Sayings of Confucius with Commentaries) contains the discourses by Confucius with nobles and 72 of his disciples except those included in Lunyu (Analects of Confucius). Wang Guangmou of the Yuan Dynasty put the title on each chapter and added detailed annotations; in Korea, this book was published by Park Eun (1370-1422) at the Gangwongamyeong Provincial Office. Park Eun rendered distinguished services on Yi Bang-won’s side during the First and Second Princely Coup D’etat in 1398 (seventh year of the reign of King Taejo of the Joseon Dynasty) and 1400 (second year of King Jeongjong’s reign), respectively. He realized that this book had not been published in the country when he left for his new post in Gangwon-do Province, so he reproduced the printing blocks based on the original version. This book is a valuable material in studying the publication culture in the early Joseon Period, since it is elaborate compared with other local government publications in the same period.
